Let's ask: Mods, sock puppet? You don't have to tell us who.

Dear Sarah, or Andrew If I'm mistaken, your post makes no sense.
My original post was entirely respectful Ms Mason, followed by one comment. But I will give you the benefit of the doubt and assume your contempt has been accumulating over time, reading the replies to other IOtDs.

Yes, we here in the depths of the Cellar tend to be glib, and maybe sophomoric in our humor (humour). The IOtDs tend to emanate from human foibles and strange behavior that is best viewed without taking them to seriously.

I would humbly suggest in the future, if you visit a website and you don't fit, quit. But don't make yourself look like an ass on the way out.

Anyway, I keep thinking this is about a Neil Simon movie.

It took no professional training to operate, letting her remain mistress of her own house, with just two aides assisting her.

Iron lungs are very low-tech and can be easily maintained, unlike respirators that require significant ongoing medical involvement.

My mother passed away from cancer in 2002. She spent the last 5 years of her life in and out of hospitals, and finally passed away with all of us in attendance. Every once in a while we go on a road trip and visit our great aunt and head up to the cemetery where her ashes are interred. If we want to say "Hi, Mom!", we just add a little water...

My brother said that Mom is somewhere not making apologies for us. She's probably laughing her ass off, too!

This thread has brought out more than one lurker. The above is just damn funny. Probably the truth too.

I say we ban Smesa. All he/she ever does is stir the shit, I find that intolerably irritating.

Any seconders?

:p

[classicman]

OH what the heck - ban the smegma!

smesa expressed an opinion, whether you agree with that opinion or not, it was her(his) right to do so. Don't forget that post was moderated and approved by the management. Can we stop throwing stones now?
